A short time ago tho public was surprised
by an announcement that the remains Of
Henry Ward Beecher had been quietly trans
ferred from thoir nrst resting place In Grccn-
wood Cemetery to O more suitable one In tho
samo general enclosure. IL had been done
without especial ceremony and nobody except
the immediate members OF tho family knew
anything about II until everything had been
accomplished. The reason for tho removal
was that tho original plot controlled by the
Beecher family was In too public u quarter.

The Prediction of "Tannhauser" at tho
Metropolitan Opera House.


Tho Production OF "Tannhauser" at the
Metropolitan Opera House.
"TannhGuser" was heard last evening at
the Metropolitan Opera House with the same
cast with which 1t has before been given this
season. barring one notable exception, the re-
appearance OF Herr Robinson. This artist is
as fine an exponent OF the beautiful role OF
Wolfram as could by any means be had. The
music lies exactly within his range Of voice,
and the limpid and sympathetic quality Of his
tones is never shown in anything to such good
advantage as In this melodious creation OF
Wagner. Herr Robinson seems to have COM
ton. for his throat was never in better order
than 1t proved to be last night.

question naturally arises why singers cannot
be found to alternate with such great artists
as Lii Lehman, who at least do not fall SO far
short OF all the gifts and graces Of the first
class prima donna. Are there no singers to be
found in Europe who can more nearly rival
those who stand ut the head Of the profession?
